A Sample of Turkish Justice.

You have often read wondrous and
living tales of justice administered with
unerring judgment in Turkey. Here is \
true story OF Turkish justice: A drover
complained to eross-legged magnate
at RodostO that ne had been robbed of
two oxen. Three Turkish gendarmes
Were sent to recover the property. and
soon discovered two peasants going off
with two oxen. One Of the men was
shot dead. The other escaped, and the
policemen hastily buried their man and
came back in triumph with two oxen.
But the man said those oxen had not
been stolen from him. and it was plain
that the peasant had been shot for driv-
ing his own cattle. The situation was
uncomfortable. but Turkish diplomacy
fixed things. Another man was found
to swear he had been robbed of the two
oxen. and they were turned over to-
him, which relieved the gendarmes-
from guilt. They did not go unpun--
ished. however. for they had buried the
dead peasant without first washing the
body, which in Turkey is crime exc
cept in case of soldier killed in battle.
For that negligence they wers inpris-

FINE BUILDINGS AND FREE FUEL.

the King Bridge Company at cost Of
$4,000. The main building is J0x3J0

the dissolution of the Bridge Company
the building was abandoned and re-
manned unoccupied until last spring.

but could be put in condition for occu-

TRUFFLE HUNTING.
How Dogs and Hoss Are Employed in
Gathering the Delicious Tidbit.

How Dogs and HosS Are Employed in
Gathering the Delicious Tidbit.
Italy is the home of the truffle-hunter
and the truffie-dog. Most people have
seen, if not tasted, truffie. In shape
it is more or less spherical. sometimes
studded over with warty protuberances,
sometimes smooth Its size varies
greatly. In England it is seldom
greater than a large hens egg or a
moderate-sized apple, but on the CONT
nent it is often found much larger. In
color also it is variable, The common
est kind is the white, which has Il
coarse flavor and is but little esteemed.
This is probably the sort with which
the ancients were acquainted.
A red or purple variety is also
found, but is rather rare. The black
is the best known, and is generally
considered to have the most delicate
flavor.
The geographical distribution of the
truffle is wide. 1t extends over most
of Europe and parts of Asia. even SO far
rs Japan and the East Indies. In Eng
land it is found in most of the southern
and midland counties. and probably
could be procured all over the king
dom, but the regular truffie-hunting is
carried on only in Hampshire, Wilt
shire and Kent In some parts of SOM
erSetshire another fungus of an entire
" different species. and only resem-
bling the truffie in being subterran-
eous. is sold under the name of Bath
Truffle."
Since its growth is entirely subter.
raneous. without any shoots or other
signs of its presence above ground. the
hunters resort to Il peculiar method to
obtain it. Some animals, notable the
dog and the pig. which possess deli
cate sense of smell. have also n strong
liking for the trufile, which is turned 20
account.
In England and some parts of France
and Italy, dogs are employed in the
search. Il small white woolly dog being
specially trained for the purpose. The
English dogs are inferior in skill to
those used in Italy. where they are
often trained SO well that the hunter
can send his animals'out. even at night.
without troubling to follow them, and
vet be sure that they will bring back
all they find. without tasting them
But in England close watch has to be
kept on the dogs, or they will devour
the dainty as soon Is it is unearthed.
An Italian writer, Vittadini. tells Of
some dogs in his possession which he
had trained to such perfection, that if
he wanted supply Of any particular
variety, he had only to give them one
to smell. and they would search for
that kind only.
As rule the dogs hunt in couples.
Sometimes tine hunter is furnished
with stout ash stick. tipped at one
extremity with iron to the depth of
about three inches This is used for
digging up the trufiie.
In parts of France and Italy, instead
of dogs, pig is used. The kind
known as the Perigorl pig is thought
to be the most expert. This animal
also is susceptible of a certain amount
Of training. '.As soon Us the pig has
disinterred the truf1ie." says Figuier.

and a broom corn factory could all be
successfully established here. The
raw material would be right at their
doors. And the producers Of this ma
terial would also be consumers of the
manufactured article. Consider, too.
the enormous demand that a large,
thrifty and enterprising community of
farmers creates for agricultural imple-
ments and the repairs on them. A
considerable portion of the material for
manufacturing these would probably
have to be shipped in. But how
much cheaper to ship the
material in the rough and
in bulk than the finished implement.

facts.
WHAT Do THEY MEAN?
One of the things they mean is this:
Kansas is going to do her own manu-
featuring. She has shipped hogs and
corn and broom corn East and brought
back pork and starch and brooms long
enough. She is going to quit it. and
she is going to quit sending thousand
miles for her agricultural implements
and furniture and iron castings, and
pretty soon she is going to quit sending
for sugar and syrup and salt. Produc-
ing the raw material from which all
these things are made. and with a
population large enough to create a
steady and constantly increasing de-
mand, why shouldn't Kansas build
manufactures. She is going to do it.
and do it right away. and those that
want share in the harvest would do
well to come at once and take hand
in sowing the seed. 1t is to direct the
attention of those who may wish to do
this to the peculiar advantages offered

not to be emphasized. Natural gas in
